Exciting News! Middle-Pause Is Part of the Boost Program!

That makes me, Debbie Walker, a Booster for you.

Oh, yeah!

There is a buzz circulating about boosting on this platform. I’m sure most of you have heard about the Boost Program. The new initiative started by Tony Stubblebine that gets your articles in front of more readers. That may equate to an additional 500 -1,000s of more views and reads which means a chunk of change for you.

Woo-Hoo! I can get with that.

Middle-Pause’ (MP) has been chosen to be a part of the Boosting Program! Our mission from the beginning was to showcase the stories of other writers. Now we have the opportunity to do that on a much larger scale.

Just another example of women helping women.

What Do I Expect You To Do?

The first step is to apply to be a writer for MP. Submit your profile info to middlepause51@gmail. I’ll then peruse your writing, and if you are a fit, I’ll add you as a writer. Remember, we take only female writers at this point.

Then I’ll look at the articles submitted to MP to see if they are in accordance with the posted guidelines (see below). Even though my focus is MP, I can still go outside our parameters and search for other women’s articles. However, they must still fall within our topics of Women, Aging, Menopause, and Diversity.

You know, women’s stories.

Here’s what they expect you to do:

Medium is an open platform where new writers, seasoned writers, passionate professionals, and people with a vital story…

A new Boost for top stories

What Am I Looking For?

I’m looking for authentic stories that will inform, make you laugh, or even make you cry. Your stories should elevate the reader or change their perspective. Reach deep down and pull up the treasures that are hidden within you.

Also, I’d like some unusual takes — tell me about women that are out of the ordinary. Help us celebrate along with them!

This pub is for the woman in the middle of her life, relationships, work, and menopause, but mostly of herself. You know who you are!

I want to hear your voice. Make me feel like I know you and help me care about your topic long after I read your story.

I’ve listed our vision statement and submission guidelines below. Make sure you read them all. Most of your questions will be answered. If you have any more, don’t hesitate to ask!

What I Do Not Want

Absolutely, no AI stories. We want stories written by humans for women. There is an AI detector, and I’ll run every story through it that’s recommended for a boost. So let’s not take any chances.

I also don’t want gimmicky posts or ones that are commercially affiliated. At this point in time, we don’t take fiction or erotica. Rants are a real turn-off as well. (Find a way to tell it as a story.) Non-erotic posts about sexuality are welcome. And if your post appears to be a sales promo, we may have to pass. That being said, if in doubt, submit and we’ll sort it out!

I’m excited, aren’t you? I’m grateful for the opportunity to recommend a Boost for you. Medium has the last word, though. Oh, I almost forgot–you’ll get a little Boost icon if you’re chosen. Share it with me because you’ll probably get the notification before I do. Then we can celebrate with you in our newsletters.

What are you waiting for? It’s time to put pen to paper, digits to keyboard, or talk to text. Remember, our vision states that we write:

To encourage, inspire, and empower others!

See ya in the MP!

May the Middle-Pause be with you!

Here’s my secret weapon to help women in the middle.
